Benefits of technology

[0005]Conventional techniques such as Patent Literature 1 require a large number of electronic devices transmitting unique signals and installed in a store in order to obtain behavior analysis results in the store by fine movement unit, resulting in increases in the number of man-hours and the cost of the equipment. The present invention solves the problem of an increase in the number of electronic devices that transmit unique signals and are installed in a store.
[0007]A behavior analysis device according to the present invention calculates the state of position from the number of times of receiving of the unique signals electronic devices and permits overlap between the communication ranges. As a result, the present invention allows the communication distances of the electronic devices transmitting the unique signals to be extended and the number of wireless transmitters necessary for the whole store to be decreased without degrading the resolution of position locating.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention are described referring to drawings.

[0023]FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention to perform a behavior analysis of traffic lines in a store.

[0024]A reference numeral 101 designates each one of a plurality of infrared transmitters disposed in a store. A reference numeral 102 designates a mobile electronic device carried by a customer. A reference numeral 103 designates a cradle to which the mobile electronic device is inserted to collect data. A reference numeral 104 designates a data analysis device. The infrared transmitter 101 periodically, with a frequency of once a second for example, transmits the infrared ID, which is a unique signal, by infrared communication. The mobile electronic device 102 receives the infrared IDs transmitted from the infrared transmitters 101, and counts and records the numbers of times of receiving of the infrared IDs every specific ti...

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of an increase in the number of electronic devices that transmit specific signals and are installed inside a store in order to obtain traffic line information, the present invention calculates position coordinates in a facility using a calculation formula based on the number of signals received and the pattern of the number of signals received, and determines traffic line information.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The present invention relates to a behavior analysis device for customers or employees in a store and so on.[0002]It is important to grasp behavior of customers or employees in a store in order to consider actions for increasing the sales of the store.[0003]A technique to measure traffic lines of customers in a store is proposed, which disposes electronic devices transmitting intermittent unique signals in the store, attaches receivers to shopping bags carried by the customers, and outputs the movement paths as the traffic line information.PRIOR ART[0004]Patent Literature 1: JPH11-64505 ASUMMARY[0005]Conventional techniques such as Patent Literature 1 require a large number of electronic devices transmitting unique signals and installed in a store in order to obtain behavior analysis results in the store by fine movement unit, resulting in increases in the number of man-hours and the cost of the equipment. The present invention solves the problem of an increase in th...
